Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Salmon

Introduction

Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Salmon is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together the delicate taste of salmon with the tangy zest of lemon and the aromatic punch of garlic. This hands-off slow-cooker method ensures a perfectly tender and flaky salmon, infused with delicious flavors throughout. It’s a healthy and easy-to-make recipe, ideal for weeknight dinners or when you need a dish that feels fancy without the fuss.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet
• 1 large lemon, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or white wine, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
   • Line the bottom of your slow cooker with lemon slices. This will prevent the salmon from sticking and infuse it with a lemony flavor.
2. Season the Salmon:
   • Place the salmon fillet on top of the lemon slices in the slow cooker.
   • Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon, then sprinkle with minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
   • Pour the chicken broth or white wine (if using) around the salmon to keep it moist during cooking.
3. Cook:
   • Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the salmon is tender and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Serve:
   • Carefully remove the salmon from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with extra lemon slices and fresh dill if desired. Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion

Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Salmon is a wonderfully simple and healthy dish that’s packed with flavor. The slow cooker method ensures the salmon stays moist and tender, while the lemon and garlic impart a fresh, vibrant taste.
